miyu# ls -la do-build 
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  33 Apr 26 00:08 do-build -> /home/feyrer/work/NetBSD/do-build
miyu# ls -laL do-build
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  351 Apr 26 00:08 do-build
miyu# chmod +x do-build 
miyu# ls -laL do-build
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  351 Apr 26 00:08 do-build

Shouldn't the chmod change the permissions on the file the link points to?

This is on 1.5.1_BETA/i386.
